No I didn't today, has just been horrible for me. It all started with the 1.6lb weight gain. Then I was too tired after yesterday'a attempt at SBD to do anything. I've been in a bad mood and I think it's due to the sugar. I could really tell a difference between yesterday and today. DH is gone into ROchester to minister to the homeless and I'm left with the screaming baby and fighting children.
As for PPD, praise the Lord it's not as bad as last time. Last time I use to cry ALL the time, my eyes felt like I would burst into tears at any moment. I use to want to leave DH with the kids cause they deseverved a better mom and he deserved a better wife. I'd imagine myself free falling off a building or just slipping under the water. Mind you, I never had intentions of killing myself. I just wanted to escape. I'd sometimes think about just getting in a car and driving far away. I went on zoloft...big mistake. It just numbed me. I didn't care that my marriage was really bad at that time, I just zoned out, only doing what was neccessary. It wasn;t until I stopped that I realized what I was missing. It's not that I didn't love my son, I did. But I didn't truly bond with him til I was off. I just kept holding him and kissing him. It blocked the extreme end of sad so that I wasn't crying all the time, but it blocked the extreme end of happiness. I never experienced real happiness. Life was good after I was off when he was about 8 months old. I'm just feeling over whelmed and tied down. I have zero life outside my kids. If DH isn't too busy and he gets home in time, I get to sneak off to the athletic department on campus and put a tae-bo DVD in always knowing I could be called home at any second. My marriage is lacking in every department....k, sorry, I'm done whining. I've just had a really, really bad night and all I want to do is go to bed, but I can't yet. At least I got us another post!

hehehe... you are like me - an avid forum checker =) I do have good news to report though!!! I DID get to the gym, and I am SO proud of myself =) I did 45 min on the treadmill (5 min walk/2.5 min run) and then 30 min of lifting weights... whew... I feel so much better. Sometimes just getting started is the hard part.
Do you have any other neighborhood moms? If you could hook up with one or two of them and arrange some play dates it might give you a chance to take a break too..

Good job on the treadmil!
I've met a few moms, none I've really clicked with. DD started preschool last week, so that gives me a break. She's 4 with a 14 y.o. attitude, so it gives me a break. Then DS is good too cause they aren't fighting. AND I get to walk her so it's a winning situation all around. I wear my baby in a wrap, so it's like adding 13lbs as a chest weight. I push DS in a stroller as his little 2 y.o. legs still dodle so slow. Figured oout why 2 y.o.'s are still conciderd toddlers, watch them take a 15 minute walk, lol. I walked her to preschool then we walked home, walks back to pick her up, went to the park and then home. This was the first day. On the way home my 2 y.o. just sat down and held his arms up to be carried. I couldn't as I was wearing the baby. POor lil guy, I bring the buggy now.
Ok, you girls are gonna kill me. Something horrid is goingon in my body. I've gained, yes gained 3.6lbs in the last 2 days. WHat is going on? Is that even humanly pssible?

Yep it sure is , Do you weigh the same time each day or what , the best time to weigh is in the morning after you get up ( make sure youuse the bathroom first youwould be surprised how big a difference that will make .I know as for me I can weigh in the morning and step on the scale later that day and have a 3 lb difference I guess its from water and stuff like that
And 2 and 3 year olds dont make good walking partners do they LOL

Hey team hows it going , Hope better then I did I had fried shrimp tonight I wasnt planning on eating that but the place we went to they was so busy that it was easier just to go ahead and get the seafood buffet so I had fried shrimp and a salad with a diet Dr pepper and for lunch Me and my 10 year old daughter halved a nacho so I guess it could have been worst , fixing to do about 30 min on weights and my DVD so maybe that will help a little, One good thing I did step on the scale this morning and it did say I was down another pound but I wont believe it till I see it at least 3 days in a row . I am hoping to get out in the yard tomorrow and rake some leaves so there will go some more calories I hope. And I thought about the ice question I think it can almost be better its still water and your body has to work to warm it up so it is doing double the job ( sounds good any way )
Hope you had a good one

Hi everybody....
I am finally rechecking in. I have had a busy couple of days and I finally have a full day off --- no wrestling matches or soccer matches or work (except my housework).
Some of you know that I have 2 wonderful sons and a incredible hubby. I have a son , 14, in the 8th grade and one son ,12, in the 6th grade. I have said this before but I have loved every age they have been and yes, even the terrible twos didnt seem so bad. Sure, we had our share of frustration but I just love it as they grow into their own person.
I am still excited about losing weight. I have a long way to go, but by summer I should be feeling good enough about my appearance to get back in some of my old summer clothes and swim suit. That is my short term goal. Oh yeah... there is a football banquet end of Feb that I hope to have lost 20 lbs total by then...
I dont have many hobbies right now too busy with the kids sports, my job, and keeping our home in order. Guess in my spare time I like to read book especially Christian fiction and health books. Picking aerobics up again will also take time so I may as well include that as a hobby...
Still doing good on food intake approx 1200 cal with 64-80 oz water daily and doing my treadmill.
Team ovation, we can do this !!!! Just need to concentrate on the major 3: food intake, water and exercise.

hey everyone!!! glad to see everyone here and checked in! I didn't have such a fabulous day yesterday myself, but today is looking much better... I think one of my weaknesses is alcohol - just because my friends and I all hang out over glasses of wine and beers... but only like one or two times a week... that was my problem yesterday =(
sara - yeah, weight fluxuates so much - and especially if you have been drinking alot of water it would make a difference... oo - one more possibility... have you been doing anything that would build muscle recently? muscle does weigh more than fat, so sometimes you will be losing inches and either stay the same or gain weight.
keep up the good work ladies!!! I was planning on going for a run today, but it's pouring outside. I'm not sure if i'll make it to the gym b/c of all of my homework - but I AM going on TUES and THUR mornings... wish me luck!

I picked up some bryers lite ice cream bars (only 140 cals) and also some bryers fruit bars (only 50) cals... this way when my fiance is craving ice cream, I don't feel like I need to over indulge... I also have some lite coffee flavored ice cream... I think the most important thing with desserts is watching the portion size - so while DF eats his ice cream in a bowl, I use a little tea cup =) but the bars make it easy, since the portions are already there for you...
oh - and girls! I need you to kick my butt if I don't go the gym tomorrow... it is going to be my first morning of trying to get up early to do so, and I'm going to need aLOT of help!!!
